Just a short question.
As Lojban is "open-source" I'd prefer having lojbanic lyrics for music that is open-source as well.

So does open-source music exist after all ?
Is folk music open-source (in the sense you may copy, distribute, perform it or modify) ?

I don't get the point. Natural languages have no copyright. You mean you'd
prefer lojbanic lyrics as opposed to lyrics in a copyrighted
artificial language?

No copyright applies to folk music, obviously. Old works are copyright free
as well. There is open source music produced nowadays, see for example
